Having multiple clusters of DHCTs, as illustrated in this example, is normally not a 
problem. Non-responding DHCTs begin to appear only when delay values fall 
below the 134 microsecond range, as designated by the Too Distant label along the 
x-axis. 
 
Delay Value Analysis 
The second part of the DHCT Delay Value Saturation Report provides a detailed 
breakdown of the graphical data displayed in Graphical Distribution of DHCT Delay 
Values, earlier in this section. This part of the report contains the following data: 
 
A listing of the QPSK modulator and associated demodulators 
Note:  In the following example, Modulator QPSKMOD1 is configured with 
eight demodulators. 
 
The average and the median delay values for the modulator and each 
demodulator 
 
A detailed listing showing the number of DHCTs with each delay value 
 
The data confirms the existence of two distinct clusters of DHCTs, with each cluster 
located a distinct radius away from the modulator.  
 
7,150 DHCTs have a delay value of approximately 745 ms 
Note:  These DHCTs correspond to the cluster situated over the Close to 
Headend label along the x-axis of the graph shown under the Graphical 
Distribution of DHCT Delay Values heading, earlier in this section. 
 
24 DHCTs have a delay value of approximately 300 ms 
Note:  These DHCTs correspond to the cluster located over the Far from 
Headend but Within Range label along the x-axis of the graph shown under the 
Graphical Distribution of DHCT Delay Values heading, earlier in this section.
